Hi,
Can you advise me on this?
I have travelled to US on BL1 visa on 22-Mar-2007. My company converted my visa from BL1 to H1 on 26-Jan-2010.
I continued working in USA till 15-Oct-2011 and returned to India.
While in India, compay applied for H1-Cap extension and we got extension till 14-Jan-2014.
Now I am planning to travel USA on long term assignment (3 year) and my current extension is valid for one year.
My question is:
i) Since my visa was converted from BL1 to H1, can I get total of 6 years only on H1? OR will 6 year period will include my stay on BL1 and H1?
ii) How do I get min 3 years of extension on my current visa?
iii) What is the max extension I can get at this moment?
